768. Epidemiological and Clinical Profile of Miliary Tuberculosis in Southern of Tunisia

摘要

BackgroundMiliary tuberculosis (MT) is a severe rare form of tuberculosis (TB). It is often due to lymphohaematogenous dissemination of tubercle bacilli. Although the global incidence of TB has been slowly decreasing with globally conducted program, MT incidence is relatively increasing owing mainly to widespread use of immunosuppressive drugs and HIV/AIDS pandemicity. Few reports were found regarding epidemiological data of MT in developing countries. We aim to evaluate epidemiological characteristics of MT in the region of Sfax Southern Tunisia.
